Every Friday since then, there has been a protest drinking of mineral water in the bar - protesters drink mineral water as slowly as possible and thus reduce the profit of the bar owner. . . . . We do not live[...]

Concert Lucka Kuhna has been playing since May 2011, when some teachers at the Waldorf School Ljubljana decided at the prom that their band would not only be a one-day prom band, but would continue to play together. The band took its name from the punk song of the same name played that evening. But least of all because it operates in the former building of the People's Kitchen: the "light kitchen" is light mainly because it is open to all people, regardless of musical (ignorance) - that they only have the joy of playing, and because it is open[...]

You are invited to our online Pride Fundraiser event with Wolf behind her eyes!

Organised by: Ljubljana Pride Association Language: English Visualising the Lives of LGBTIQ Roma is a group photo exhibition showing the too often invisible lived experiences of people at the intersection of LGBTIQ+ and Roma identities.

Through their works, the authors not only offer an insight into their lives, but also demonstrate how they want to be represented. Because we are unable to host the exhibition in person this year due to epidemiologic circumstances, we[...]

We will mix our own activist experiences[...]
